Returning the wife's family's gift after divorce
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh says, may Allah grant you success: I married a woman, and her brothers gave me furniture for the house, which was a sofa. Then Allah decreed their separation, and they asked me for this sofa, as if they were saying that their gift was only for the sake of their sister.
Answer:
Yes, indeed. So, does he return it? Is he required to return it? No, as long as you have taken possession of it, this is a gift, and since you have taken possession of it, it has become your property, and it is not permissible for them to take it back, unless they are calling out with their voices, and all of them are like the creation.
